Absolutely the best college with a tag as NITian, good placement and a bright future in every field.
Placements: Well, I'm from the mining department, and to be honest, among all NITs and IITs, NIT Rourkela offered the best facility and placement for mining engineering, due to the available mines in Odisha. 98% of our seniors got placed in various companies like Coal India, Hindustan Petroleum and other mining industries. Many also learn coding and finance to get a placement in the desired companies. The highest was 45 LPA, and the lowest was 5 LPA, with an average of 11 LPA. NIT Rourkela offered an outstanding base for mining engineering. Roles like mining designer, etc., are also offered.

Study room, TV room, dining room, game arena, TT court, badminton court, basketball court, hockey court, chess, and Uno, everything is easily accessible and for everyone to use. A temple, hospital, free checkup, sports complex, many canteens and a food court are available.
Faculty: As the 2nd best NIT, I can confirm that the curriculum, strict courses, and teachers are all qualified and help you to your best. Teachers also focus on the mental health of the students. Each students get assigned a faculty advisor for their helpful needs. The study here is so peaceful and really good. Although semester exams are too strict and hard, the attendance policy is 85% compulsory.
Other: Well, with my JEE marks, I was assigned this branch, though it was not my dream one, but still it's so good with a helpful senior, nice teacher and freedom in this course. I wish to learn more from my branch. The fests and events here are literally the best among all. The biggest fests of East India are organised by NIT Rourkela too. The campus is vibrant and beautiful. The crowd is organised and don't stand out a lot. You can get a lot of scholarships due to the big name of NIT Rourkela. Every facility, like tech, dance, music, design, and sports, is present.
